here's my point, piers. the point is it is absolutely intellectually dishonest to have a conversation about tax increases unless and until you talk about massive cuts in spending of the federal government, getting our spending to gdp ratio below 20%, it's about at 25% today, and my point is, is that the first problem is spending. and i don't think you can even get to a dishonest conversation about how tax increases is somehow going to resolve this problem, it's like going to the hospital with a broken leg, taking a bunch of pain pills and after a few hours, you still have the broken leg. you have to fix the broken leg, piers. >> but the point i'm making to you is that in the cnn poll, it wasn't just about raising taxes. it's about a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. now, let me play a quote from jay carney talking about exactly what the president is offering. >> here's a fact. the president has on the table a proposal that reduces the deficit by $4 trillion, that does so in a balanced way, that
